Both our champion and challenger have no problems solving this bad boy.................we have ourselves a crucial conundrum........but the question is who will buzz first ?
Round 15: G M O R R A H F C
C1 buzzes on 29.75 seconds to say which is incorrect.
C2 does not buzz.
The answer was FROGMARCH.
Final Score: 59–61 (max 130)
What a scrappy contest this has been in this low scoring game our champion buzzes but doesn't answer it is left to our recap writer to pick up the slack..........however we have a new champion in Verity who is the newest member of the teapot club.........now the question is will Tyler's points total be enough for a spot in the series 91 finals........you can join me for the next recap and to see if Verity can bag her second win........in the meantime it is bye for now
